Isolation of the bacteriophage lambda receptor from Escherichia coli

Isolation of the bacteriophage lambda receptor from Escherichia coli

L Randall-Hazelbauer et al. J Bacteriol. 1973 Dec.

Abstract

A factor which inactivates the phage lambda can be extracted from Escherichia coli. This factor is a protein and is located in the outer membrane of the bacterial envelope. It is found in extracts of strains which are sensitive to phage lambda, but not in extracts of strains specifically resistant to this phage. We conclude that this factor is the lambda receptor, responsible for the specific adsorption of the phage lambda to E. coli cells. A partial purification of the lambda receptor is described. Inactivation of the phage by purified receptor is shown to be accompanied by the release of deoxyribonucleic acid from the phage.
